Track Your Successes (and Your Failures).
When you advertise listings online, how effective are your efforts? If that question caught you off guard or left you without a solid answer, then you are not
tracking the results of your expended marketing effort!
With the explosive and ongoing growth of the internet over the past 5 years,
marketing listings online has become a necessity. Whether you're promoting property listings, eBay listings, auto listings, or any other type of listings, you need to have them on the internet. But just as important, is the information that tells you
where your advertising is effective and where it is failing.Our
tracking reports and details give you the essential information you need to view the
impact that your online flyers have made in different areas. You can see the website url's that people have viewed and clicked your flyers on, reports on the popularity of your flyers in different areas, and graphs that display the success of your flyer over a specified period of time. If used right, this type of data will allow you to analyze your targeted markets and
design a plan that can monetize your online advertising efforts.
Put your efforts where they are paying off. And remember, to do that, you
need to know where your efforts are paying off.
Flyer tracking data is available for all paid flyers.Labels: autos, classified flyer ads, ebay, flyer tracking, free member features, real estate, track advertising success
Stand Out on eBay
In a recent
podcast interview, AuctionBytes editor, Ina Steiner, talks with Seth Godin about his new book, "The Dip: A little book that teaches you when to quit (and when to stick)". During their discussion, Seth talks a little bit about the way he sees eBay commerce:
"eBay is a haystack, and your auction is a needle. You can sharpen your needle all you want, but it's still going to be a needle in a really big haystack. I think the way you win is by
getting out of the haystack." Seth goes on to mention several different ways to do that, such as blogging and building your online social network.
Here at
ClassifiedFlyerAds.com, we provide a way for eBay sellers to get
their listings "out of the haystack" in an efficient and cost-effective way. Through our
bulk upload option, eBay sellers can advertise all of their listings online in one step, simply by using the file feed or RSS feed of their listing inventory. Our system automatically places each listing into it's own web page and posts them to over a dozen online search directories.
With each listing on it's own webpage (complete with links to the listing on eBay, photos, and seller contact info), that's major outside-of-the-haystack promotion!

Another Handy eBay Widget
In response to a great customer request, we recently developed an
eBay slideshow widget to showcase your eBay listings in a fancy way. The widget comes in a horizontal or vertical style so you can place it easily on any part of your sites or blog. It transitions through all of your eBay listings at a speed set by the viewer, and comes in seven different color options (because hey, your widget should match your blog!).
The widget displays each eBay listing with a photo and link back to the listing for purchase. Once you customize your widget the way you want it, you can paste the embed code all over the place online to give your eBay listings maximum internet exposure.

real estate slideshow widget as well!

ClassifiedFlyerAds Makes “Bid” to Help eBay Sellers Spread the Word
Are you an eBay addict? Whether you have your own store on the popular site or you just like to purchase goods there, now ClassifiedFlyerAds.com is helping spread the word about items up for bid. A new
feature lets eBay store owners advertise their items for sale outside of the eBay site through ClassifiedFlyerAds.com, and visitors to the site can view eBay listings in all their favorite categories.
The new system uses eBay store owners’ RSS feeds to automatically import and create online flyers with their own landing page. The flyers, which link back to the store and are optimized for maximum search engine visibility, are then posted to ClassifiedFlyerAds.com’s list of
directories.
“eBay is becoming an increasingly competitive place to sell your wares, and reaching outside the site to advertise items can give store owners an edge,” says Misty Lackie, founder and CEO of Go Smart Solutions, LLC, the parent company of ClassifiedFlyerAds.com. “We created this new tool to give eBay store owners an easy way to get increased exposure for every item they have for sale.”
